Chapter 27 Heart of the Ocean

Suddenly, a crystal shimmering with seven-colored light appeared beneath its body. The crystal emitted intense energy fluctuations, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

The Ghost Spider used its eight long legs to push the seven-colored crystal in front of Luo Qing, its eyes revealing a pleading look.

Luo Qing looked at the seven-colored crystal before her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She could sense the powerful energy contained within the crystal; it was definitely an extremely precious treasure.

She turned to look at Fang Tai, Qi Ru, and Mu Qimeng, and found that they all had surprised expressions on their faces. Clearly, they had also realized the extraordinary nature of this crystal.

Luo Qing looked at the Ghost Spider again and found that its eyes were filled with tears. The tears slowly slid down its cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making a crisp sound.

It seemed to be telling Luo Qing in this way that this seven-colored crystal was its last treasure, and it was willing to use it to save its own life.

Luo Qing picked up the seven-colored crystal, feeling the immense energy within it, and finally relented, "Alright, I'll let you go this time. You should leave now."

The ghost spider suddenly turned around, its eight long legs sweeping across the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. Its body traced an elegant arc in the air before quickly disappearing into the depths of the dense forest.

Luo Qing and her companions stood quietly in place, watching it leave, as if they could feel its joy and hope for rebirth.

"I didn't expect it to be able to run so fast even after suffering such serious injuries." Luo Qing was shocked.

The four people beside her glanced at her helplessly, thinking to themselves, "She's probably scared by your robbery."

Luo Qing held a blue gemstone in one hand and a seven-colored crystal in the other. "What do you think this is?"

Mo Ming: "We can use the system's new appreciation function to see what they are."

Luo Qing was completely bewildered: "The appreciation function? When did it come about? How come I didn't know about it?"

The others also looked at Mo Ming with curiosity.

Mo Ming blushed slightly and brought up his system screen to show everyone. "Let's talk about this."

He opened the system store page, and after several clicks, he finally opened the appreciation page.

A transparent appraisal platform appeared in the center of the page, with several lines of large text next to it:

[System Appreciation Platform, 10 gold coins per use.]

"I was wondering why the system used to automatically display the name after staring at something for ten seconds, but now it doesn't recognize many things anymore. It turns out the system added an appreciation function to earn coins."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, all feeling somewhat speechless. They hadn't noticed the new appraisal feature in the system shop, and it even cost ten gold coins per use.

This system is really good at doing business.

Luo Qing pursed her lips and placed the seven-colored crystal on the appraisal table first. A flash of light appeared, followed by several lines of text on the table:

【Item Name: Seven-Colored Divine Stone】

[Rank: SS]

【Function:】

As the light gradually faded, the text on the appraisal table became clearly visible to them.

Luo Qing first noticed the words "SS-level" and a look of shock flashed in her eyes.

She knew that SS-grade items represented extremely rare and precious items, which were extremely rare throughout the entire game world.

Then, her gaze fell on the blank space after "Function:".

Her heart raced as she nervously awaited the words that would follow.

Suddenly, the words on the appraisal table began to flicker, as if some powerful force was gathering.

Luo Qing and her companions involuntarily held their breath, staring intently at the appraisal table.

The text on the appraisal table burst into a dazzling light, and then a brand new line of text appeared before their eyes:

[Function: The energy contained within can be released through an array in the form of music; monsters that hear it will level up by two. (The number of monsters cannot exceed five.)]

Luo Qing and her companions looked at the inscription on the appraisal table, their hearts filled with elation. They exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

Luo Qing couldn't help but cheer, hugging the Seven-Colored Divine Stone tightly to her chest, as if afraid it would disappear.

"This is amazing! This is simply a divine artifact!" Fang Tai exclaimed excitedly.

The others also gathered around, looking at the words on the appraisal table with joyful smiles on their faces.

Mu Qimeng patted Luo Qing on the shoulder and laughed, "This time we really hit the jackpot. I never expected that the Ghost Spider would hide such a treasure."

"Quick, quick, let's see what that blue gem is!" Fang Tai urged excitedly.

Luo Qing also placed the blue gemstone on the appraisal table.

The light flashed again, and Luo Qing stared nervously at the appraisal table. The words gradually appeared, bringing her an unexpected answer.

【Item Name: Heart of the Ocean】

[Rank: S-]

【Function:】

These few simple words seemed to hold endless secrets hidden in the ocean waves. Immediately, Luo Qing's mind conjured up images of the deep blue ocean, the shimmering surface of the sea, and the treasures hidden beneath its surface.

"The Heart of the Ocean?" she murmured softly, her eyes filled with curiosity and longing.

The light gradually faded, leaving behind a deep blue, like the color of the sea, full of mystery and profundity.

Luo Qing seemed to feel the boundless power of the ocean surging slightly in her hands.

"The system identified it as the Heart of the Ocean. Could this gem really be related to the sea?" She was filled with curiosity and couldn't help but want to explore the secrets of the Heart of the Ocean.

Just then, she felt the gem in her hand vibrate slightly, and then a cool sensation came from the gem, as if it really took her into the deep sea.

She closed her eyes, immersing herself deeply in the feeling.

She could almost hear the sound of ocean waves, one after another, crashing against the rocks and splashing white foam. She felt as if she were enveloped by the waves, the cool and refreshing sensation making her want to explore deeper into the sea.

The five of them couldn't help but close their eyes amidst the sound of the waves.

Suddenly, the world spun around her, and Luo Qing felt as if her body was being pulled by an invisible force, instantly losing her balance.

The next moment, she opened her eyes and found herself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

She was surrounded by the shimmering sea, and the sunlight shone through the water onto her, warm and gentle.

She looked down and was astonished to find that her body had undergone a tremendous change—she had become a beautiful mermaid!

Her body displayed a streamlined, elegant curve, and her skin was as smooth and delicate as a pearl, radiating a faint glow.

Her hair grew long and flowing, swaying gently in the sea like seaweed.

Her pure white tail shimmered with light, breathtakingly beautiful.

Luo Qing looked around in shock and saw that her teammates had also turned into merfolk like her, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.

Luo Qing noticed that everyone's tails were solid colors.

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang in their ears: "Welcome to the Ocean Heart Secret Realm, brave players."

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful mermaid woman swimming towards them. Her skin was as transparent as seawater, her eyes as deep as the ocean, and her long hair as silky and flowing.
